About Beulah Park
At about a half mile by a quarter mile in size, Beulah Park in Zion, Illinois would seem like a typical city park. But hidden within the woods is a web of trails running through the ravine (Kellogg Ravine) along a small creek (Kellogg Creek). This compact area packs in approximately 5 miles of winding singletrack that takes advantage of the natural terrain features.
For decades these trails have been adopted and in some cases created by local mountain bikers and BMXers drawn to this park by the unique terrain of the ravine. The rolling hills, creek crossings, and tight turns through the woods provide a fun, technical riding experience in a surprisingly small footprint. The trails wind through dense forest, offering shade in summer and beautiful scenery year-round.
In 2013, the mountain bike trails in Beulah Park became “official” and are now managed by CAMBr. This partnership with the Zion Park District has allowed for improved trail maintenance, sustainable development, and better integration with other park users. The trails offer something for riders of all abilities, from beginners learning basic singletrack skills to experienced riders looking for a quick, technical ride.

CAMBr's Role at Beulah
Since 2013, CAMBr has been the official steward of the mountain bike trails at Beulah Park, working in partnership with the Zion Park District. This collaboration has transformed informal trails into a well-maintained, sustainable trail system that serves the local mountain biking community while respecting the park’s natural environment.
During the peak riding season, CAMBr organizes workdays on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings to maintain and improve the trail system. As daylight fades in fall and winter, workdays are typically scheduled only on Saturday mornings. These regular maintenance sessions ensure the trails remain in excellent condition and continue to evolve to meet riders’ needs. Anyone is welcome to help build and maintain the trails – no experience necessary, just bring your enthusiasm and willingness to learn.
